Facebook Blocks Blogspot.ca

Facebook has blocked blogspot.ca. This means anyone with a blog on Blogger in Canada can't post their links to Facebook. I've written them about it this morning. Hopefully they will unblock it soon.

Here is the message that comes up if you try to post a blogspot.ca link:

Sorry, this post contains a blocked URL

The content you're trying to share includes a link that's been blocked for being spammy or unsafe:

blogspot.ca

For more information, visit the Help Center. If you think you're seeing this by mistake, please let us know.
Write to them ("let us know" above) and let them know that blogspot.ca is okay.

UPDATE
As of June 1, 2012, it seems that Facebook is no longer blocking the core blogspot.ca site. Thank you to all those who wrote to Facebook about this.

Try using .com rather than .ca Blogpost automatically put .ca in place of .com, so you will need to append with .com/ncr/ in your link. It means no-country-roaming.

I tried using .com/ncr/ - didn't work.

Figured out a workaround:
